Mad-Men 3.05, The Fog (open spoilers)

Pete did try to explain that adspace was much cheaper in these publications, but he didn’t do it very well. And it was the intergrated ad that sent them over the edge. Don would’ve handled it better.

My father is 61 and he’s left handed. His teachers did try to correct him (rulers weren’t just a Catholic thing), but it didn’t take.

I gather the enema thing was to stop women from shitting during delivery (something I learnt about from the Dope), but what was the purpose of pubic shaving? :confused: Was it in case surgery was needed? Also shouldn’t Betty have been flat on her back (easiest for the doctor, hardest on mom)? It looked like she was sitting up.

Episiotomies were more common then. Shaving probably made sterilizing the area easier, and more effective. ??

I remember my mom telling me that the doctors knocked her out just enough where she was barely aware of what was going on, and according to her, didn’t even know I’d been born. She was hanging onto my foot and kept telling the docs “I haven’t had the baby yet! What are you talking about??”

I was born in 1958. Nobody ever tried to force me to become right-handed.

My lefty dad was born in 54 and learned how to throw a football right handed, but does everything else lefty - including throwing that football.
